The Minister of Defence and Military Veterans Thandi Modise says South Africa’s efforts in helping maintain peace on the continent is not just for the sake of Africa but also for South Africa’s own benefit.

She was speaking at Air Force Base Waterkloof in Pretoria where she, the military top brass and the family received the remains of Sergeant Vusi Mabena.

Mabena was killed last Sunday in the DRC, by a sniper while travelling in a helicopter. He was part of the South African United Nations Peacekeeping Force in the DRC.“South Africa must never forget the sacrifices that we have made on our own behalf, and on behalf of SADC.

SANDF Chief General Rudzani Maphwanya says, “Currently, our members that are in DRC have now under Monusco, instituted a board of inquiry, because for every loss of life we put together a board of inquiry to determine the circumstances surrounding the loss itself. However, when it comes to what we intend doing going into the future, the DRC, and particularly the eastern DRC, hasn’t seen peace, and therefore, we will continue to maintain our presence until the eastern DRC experiences peace.

Msunu how do we benefit if we're dying inside the country?

$89,542 earned within the last 3 months from my crypto investments with Lisa_berry77 Now I'm looking to learn even as my investment continues with her. You really need to experience that feeling of earning while you learn.

She is right. South Africa is not an Island 🏝️. We are Africa. The wellbeing of Africa is to our benefit. All hands need to get dirty to solve African problems.
